Some users (want to) forget about regularly upgrading Guix System.
There should be an unattended upgrades service.  Some requirements
come to mind for its configuration:

1) Some users may want their unattended upgrades service to take care
just of reconfiguring from a recent checkout and some may want it to
take care of updating users’ ~/.config/guix/current and ~/guix-profile
profiles.

2) Maybe there should be libnotify integration for unattended
upgrades if the user uses a desktop environment.

3) Updates may fail if there is no internet connection.  Some users
may *not* want upgrades on metered internet connections.  Some users
may *not* want upgrades over untrusted connections.

This report is a followup to Ludo’s proposal at
<https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/36636> to add such a service and
add it to %desktop-services, making it the default setting.  Such a
change in defaults could be a bad surprise for some users and should
not go unnoticed, I think.

Regards,
Florian

One was added by Ludo' in commit 
79501f26ab6d82c0256ff786a5dfb0000b52ccd3.

The unrelated (CVE) or enhancement (NM integration) suggestions 
upthread are separate topics.  Closing!
